My ABS light turns on quite often... Almost all the time. There is no difference in how it drives or anything it'll just randomly be on. It will turn on and off sometimes too.. Any ideas?

 

Before checking anything else, be sure that the brake fluid level is at the MAX line. If that's OK, have a shop check for ABS codes.

 

I think it might be my ultragauge causing it... apparently it's a known issue in tacomas...

 

my hub went bad in my truck and the abs light was on sometimes at first then when it got worse it was all the time .

 

Did it drive different though? Cause mine still drives fine...

 

Nope never felt it drive different. Once it got worse you could here it . And if you jacked it up and grabbed the top and bottom of the tire it had some play in it

 

first of all what year is your truck/ is it 2wd or 4wd? make a signature...it will make all of our lives easier...click on the link in my sig and it will show you how to make one

 

Done... And it's a 96 2wd

Well it said it saved and the thing is checked to show my signature...

 

Test

 

I had this same problem. I just replaced the sensor underneath the break fluid resiviour but the only place I could find the part is at the stealership. And you should get it fixed soon cuz if the light is on that means your ABS is not working.

 

trouble shoot before replacing: have you gone over the wiring to discover faulty fuse? broken wire? corroded wire? etc. sounds like a sensor but I would hate to dish out the green for something you dont need

 

He only has rear wheel ABS.
You most likely have a wiring issue. there is an ABS module under your truck that the plugs in on the bottom. if any of those wires get messed up, the ABS light comes on. I'd make sure that all the wires are good and that there isn't any corrosion.
This happens to my truck all the time. i'd be willing to bet that in heavy rain the ABS light goes off too.

 

Where exactly is the module? Sorry I'm kind of a noob at some of this lol... I was a mechanical engineering major though so I can figure it out when I know where to look. Thanks for the help!

 

Could also be the abs/speed sensor on top of diff.
